cpanminus is a lightweight command-line tool designed to simplify the installation of Perl modules from the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN). It provides a straightforward interface that allows users to quickly install, update, and manage Perl modules without the need for complex configurations.
Unlike the traditional CPAN shell, cpanminus focuses on ease of use and minimalism. It automatically handles dependencies, making it easier for developers to get the modules they need up and running with minimal effort. This tool is particularly useful for those who want a hassle-free experience when working with Perl.
